Reposted by Martha Bertaflyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This is plainly the situation: there is no fair hearing for anyone on the left, there is only a wall of implacable hostility and contempt. Denying this, is just whistling past the graveyard. Any great plans we might have for the future need to recognise this is the starting point. 59212
